Another health benefit of online gambling

[Wakate]

There are limited direct health benefits associated with online gambling. However, some proponents argue that certain aspects of online gambling platforms, such as social interaction in virtual communities or cognitive stimulation from strategic games, may have minor psychological or social benefits for some individuals. Nonetheless, it's essential to balance potential benefits with the risks of addiction, financial loss, and other negative consequences associated with gambling. Overall, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, engaging in positive social activities, and seeking professional help if needed are crucial for overall well-being.

I am still trying to scrutinize the health benefits of gambling which can be rare compared to the disadvantages. Once we understand the effect of gambling, I don't think we would be scared to gamble because we know so much about gambling and how we can prevent oneself from becoming too addictive to gambling. Gambling could have it own advantages which could include making free money and living the kind of lifestyle that we want especially when we hit the jackpot. If someone keeps becoming fortunate in gambling, we might be surprised to earn huge and spend funds the way we like since it is free money.

To be frank I have never visit any physical gambling shop and I don't see myself going there ever to gamble, I just don't vibe those places, I just enjoy gambling online testing various platforms of my choice when I feel like, though I still have one or two I love best. There are so many benefits of online gambling platform which I can say to me outweigh the physical casino but those who prefer to use physical casino knows why they still just prefer it to the online but I guessed it may be because that was were they started gambling or made most wins.

Online gambling and physical gambling shops has different feels. Most time when play at the physical shops, you might be lucky enough to get good games from so other experts who gamble there as well so theirs high chance of winning. In my country for instance a lot of people prefer the local gambling stores because it's easier for them compared to online where you have to go through some kyc and other stuffs. Physical gambling store you just have to buy your slip and play your games weather virtual or sport betting. For me I enjoy both the online and the physical gambling methods.

Actually I don't think the KYC is the main reason they prefer the physical meetings, maybe because there they can spend time with friends. In Nigeria, which is also where you are from,  we also have our local online betting platform like Sportybet and I haven't heard anyone complaining about stress there and it's still possible to share booking code with friends online.

Also don't forget in our local betting shop there are times when there won't power supply to place a bet but online we can do it when we want, while another reason I prefer online is also from the fact I can't lost my booking code.

Lately, I have been talking with some people on the internet who happen to suffer from some mental health issues, like anxiety, social phobia and stuff like that, which requires professional assistance and even medication for them to face it andive a normal life. This thread this surfaced again and makes me think on who gambling and those kind of mental issues could interest between each other and how it could affect the well being of them.
There are much people out there which suffer from some problems and they are yet to be formally diagnosed, still they are aware they are suffering from something which is not normal at all.
So, my take on gambling and mental health would be to avoid gambling if one believes there is something abnormal going on with the psyque and with the way we perceive world.

I am sure most of your would agree with me, that it's not the same to have someone mentally and emotionally stable to engage in gambling than someone who has undiagnosed bipolar disorder or depression. It is one of the consequences on how society usually stigmatizes mental health.

[betswift]

There are benefits from any gambling activity. And first of all, this is a benefit for the player himself. This benefit lies in the fact that a person learns to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty. Learn to correctly calculate chances and limit risks. This is a very important skill, in fact it is one of the functions of intelligence, and I would say that this is intelligence - probabilistic intelligence. In other words, gambling develops probabilistic intelligence. You know, for some it is news that the theory of probability developed from gambling.

I completely agree with you! In addition I can also add skills like financial management, emotional control, and the ability to take calculated risks. These abilities are invaluable in everyday life and can significantly enhance the quality of our decisions and overall life quality

Betting with online gambling firms will shield you from contracting communicable diseases because you are all alone in a comfortable atmosphere. My neighbor's behavior has made me focus only on crypto casinos because I am scared of my health. Don't get me wrong there are many well-built and very comfortable physical casinos that offer quality services, but when you are an online gambler you will not need to worry about the health concerns of fellow gamblers.

It's sad to know that your friend has got a communicable dieses which is contagious by bacterias, and as such, it's advisable if he could prioritize his health first before deciding which mode to gamble on, (i.e either physical or online), because just as he is still finding it difficult to gamble only on online casinos but prefer the physical, so do we also have many people who loves/prefer to gamble on a physical sport betting shop/casino, due to the opportunity it grants to have fun, make new friends and interact with like-minded people of same sports, where they discuss and share betting tips, which can not be done if you are gambling alone on an online casino.

So just as gambling on online casinos prevent you from contacting communicable dieses such as tuberculosis, it also prevent you from having the opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded people of your sport.

You are right about that but I think nowadays, people who go to gambling center are not there because they want to see their friends or hang out, they are there to bets and nothing more. There is this type of bet they call virtual where you go to stand and place a bet and under some minutes you can win some money or lose some money, most often they don't win anything and they become addicted and spend the rest of their days from morning to evening.

With this, I think online gambling will erase this type of behavior in our society, you will surprise that many of them spend the their night sleeping on those shops trying to make money they will never make and when I check the micro factor of this problems, it's unemployment that increases this activity of joblessness.

Personally, I agree with your cautionary stance. It is very important to prioritize mental health and approach gambling if at all with a clear understanding of your mental and emotional state. But it's probably important to note that a person with the problems you describe should avoid not only gambling, but also any high stress situations.
Moreover, the societal stigma around mental health can indeed complicate the situation. But friends and family can help create a supportive environment that reduces stigma and promotes healing and understanding.

You make a valid point about the social benefits of physical gambling spaces, but there's also a crucial aspect of responsibility that can't be overlooked. Prioritizing one's health and the health of others should be paramount. Choosing to gamble online over physical locations, especially when dealing with a contagious illness, reflects a responsible decision. So it seems to me that gambling, whether online or offline isn't the root cause of such issues but it act as a catalyst that exacerbates pre existing problems.

[irhact]

 You've made a very good point here, well I'll start by saying that your neighbours is very stubborn for refusing to listen to his doctors advise and therefore putting others at risk of contacting the disease, the online gambling and casino site has made it very easy for individuals to relax comfortably at home and make their predictions so I wonder why he still insist on going to stuffy bet shops to gamble despite his health condition.

 Left for me I'll suggest he quit gambling for a while and use that money to take care of his health condition, he's putting himself at more risk based on the fact that he needs to be more relaxed and in a good mental condition instead of thinking and being depressed when he suffer from heavy lose. Normally, I don't think it's okay for individuals with health issues to get involved in gambling I consider it risky.

[zuzie]

In my personal opinion, the benefit of online gambling for our health is that we can learn to hone our brains and skills so that they develop further by being shown or exposed to various kinds of online gambling, of course we will try to carry it out little by little so that we will gain knowledge by ourselves. and by gambling online for our health, we just sit quietly or relax on the bed playing online gambling of our choice and we don't directly face or meet other gamblers whose health is still in doubt.

You're right, and it was strange for me to read that this guy, who had a lung disease, did not decide to take care of himself and switch completely to an online casino. I understand that this is a matter of everyone's taste, and physical casinos have their own charm.
For some, going there is a whole holiday: flashing lights, polite staff - it attracts to physical casinos and you want to come and play.
But online casinos have great advantages: to sit comfortably with a cup of coffee in an armchair and play gambling.

Yes, it's possible that when the man was suffering from his illness, he definitely felt bored and fed up, so he took it out by playing online gambling as a way to entertain himself so he wouldn't think too much about the illness he was suffering from. However, this also needs to be taken into account because in any case the man must get enough rest so that his illness can get better soon. After all, we as gamblers also cannot force other people's will, let him be the one who feels it because he is good and bad, he is the one who takes it upon himself. Let's just take the positive side, maybe by playing online gambling someone will feel entertained by themselves because access is easy, can be played individually and there are no restrictions in any way, but we also need to remember that we must always be careful and maintain good control.

[delfastTions]

I think that for such a player, who has contracted tuberculosis, it is most likely not interesting to place bets alone, sitting in his apartment and actually being isolated from other people. 
It is true that for many players it is very important not just to place bets, but to discuss them with other people.  It is from such a discussion that, firstly, the decision on bets is made not only by the player himself, but also by a group of people with whom he discussed the bets.
Secondly, the player has someone with whom to discuss, one might say almost professionally, the bet that he is making.  This communication can be even more important for a person than winning or losing in the game itself. 
So this sick person is unlikely to be as comfortable and interested in gambling while sitting at home at the computer and alone.  This game probably won’t replace a physical casino for him.

Yes, that could be, meaning that each person always has a different reason as to why they come and get involved in gambling, where maybe desperation can also be one of the drivers for someone to get involved in gambling like you said about the man in the story above. because he felt bored and fed up due to the illness he was suffering from, which in the end took his despair out on gambling in order to relieve his boredom and stress by always spending his time in the room without activity, and of course in this case he had to be really careful. in involvement in gambling because yes I understand that gambling can be entertaining and fun but however it cannot be denied that gambling can also trigger stress and depression if done in the wrong way or too aggressively.

So yes, of course I think we already understand this, that although gambling can be quite fun, on the other hand, we also have to think about the negative impacts, especially if you are sick, where your health could get worse if you experience some of the impacts it causes. by gambling, so in my opinion using gambling as a medium to entertain and relieve boredom when you are sick is too risky, I think there are many other things you can do such as playing regular games or watching Netflix.

I also think that a person who has tubercolysis is something very delicate, and yes, I understand that he has to entertain himself but it is something that a Person like this must do to entertain himself. I would call him to read, not to make plays in the casino because the same frustration of the Illness can make you lose, because if you don't take good care of it, that illness can be very delicate, that's something that everyone thinks, I have a friend who had that illness and it lasted 5 months and he couldn't leave home, plus Since this disease is so contagious, he was always locked up in his room, the truth is that it made him depressed, and he didn't see how he could entertain himself, so as he came out of that disease, one of the things he did the least was think about playing, he was Very evil.

For someone dealing with an illness like tuberculosis the isolation necessary to protect others and manage their health can indeed make gambling alone less appealing and even detrimental. I agree with the suggestion to find other forms of entertainment that are less risky and more enriching during such a trying time. Important to focus on recovery and find joy in activities that contribute positively to one's health and happiness.

What is the point of avoiding KYC online only to go.to.a physical betting shop with you present there, what the difference when everyone sees you, they might even have you on camera and have your coverage all in their data based, that may not be an excused for using the physical betting site. I juts think that because it's the old traditional way of gambling back then, it doesn't mean it will completely disappear when new modified way of optimizing gambling comes up.

As a gambler, I would love to be an introverted person about gambling and not well known for visiting a particular place like a jobless individual who gamble to survive. Again, I don't think my brain can handle the stress of people's noise to be able to concentrate and pick good games, I'm not sure about that and some of them will don't just go there because they don't have phone to the internet, they do but just want to win through physical means get handshake with members of the high table for winning big games from them, they want to go viral through winning of games.

[zuzie]

So yes, of course I think we already understand this, that although gambling can be quite fun, on the other hand, we also have to think about the negative impacts, especially if you are sick, where your health could get worse if you experience some of the impacts it causes. by gambling, so in my opinion using gambling as a medium to entertain and relieve boredom when you are sick is too risky, I think there are many other things you can do such as playing regular games or watching Netflix.

It is true, everyone's opinion will be different if they think gambling is very risky when someone is sick. I don't blame you for your opinion just now and the most important thing is whether we are healthy or sick, if we want to gamble we must keep control of our limits. This is very appropriate because basically playing gambling is not just entertainment when you are bored, but we can also get the opportunity to win, otherwise we will definitely face high risks too. Therefore, play with appropriate limits when considering the situations and conditions we experience ourselves.

Yes because after all this is gambling where we have to focus more on some of the potential bad things that might happen, so there is nothing wrong if we talk and pay more attention to precautions. On the other hand yes of course everyone has their own perspective in dealing with everything including gambling when they are sick, and actually it doesn't matter if for example they still want to relieve boredom by engaging in gambling but on the condition that they must really understand the bad risks that will always lurk while they are there, the point is to set limits, maintain awareness and strengthen self-control and another thing is to always allocate the amount of money that you can afford to lose, or that means not exceeding your ability, remember in gambling there are so many things that can be tempting and this is why I recommend maintaining awareness.

[Agbe]

Most people don't like using online casinos but prefer to use physical casino shop because there are different factors that are taking that person to that shop. There are sometimes it is not because he is going there to gamble but just sitting there to watch sports games, going there to beg for money to buy food and eat for the day and also to gamble and to argue with one another to have fun and most of those things he can't get them when he is alone playing gamble online. Therefore he would prefer a crowded place to gamble. But if he adhere your advice he will also save souls because that sickness is a communicable disease. And for others to avoid contact such sickness, it is better to use online gambling platforms. Because those kind of people who has such sickness in most times refused to hear people advise so you that has not gotten the sickness should avoid him by leaving the place to a save zone.

There are benefits from any gambling activity. And first of all, this is a benefit for the player himself. This benefit lies in the fact that a person learns to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty. Learn to correctly calculate chances and limit risks. This is a very important skill, in fact it is one of the functions of intelligence, and I would say that this is intelligence - probabilistic intelligence. In other words, gambling develops probabilistic intelligence. You know, for some it is news that the theory of probability developed from gambling.

I completely agree with you! In addition I can also add skills like financial management, emotional control, and the ability to take calculated risks. These abilities are invaluable in everyday life and can significantly enhance the quality of our decisions and overall life quality

Yeah, that's cool. I think gamblers who could use such skills will be a better person afterward. Financial management. This is a big one if we can really follow it because many gamblers do suffer from problems with how they can manage their money. Lack of a plan. Gamblers sometimes go overboard and do not spare any dollar thinking they can bring back all the money they lost as long as they keep on betting until they are zero. I think this is wrong because we are forgetting that a gambling site is not a charity group that will give back just like that. It will keep on taking our money and we should be reminded of that. What we can only do is try to prolong the battle and enjoy every bit of the gamble we are making.

What we can only do is try to prolong the battle and enjoy every bit of the gamble we are making.

That's right, and I'm sure they are gamblers who are involved in gambling based on a correct understanding of what gambling is, such as understanding the adverse effects of gambling that can happen to them at any time without prediction, which in turn makes them think to prioritize risk management as a preventive measure so that they can avoid the bad possibilities that exist in gambling. As you said about financial management or management in terms of finances by always applying limits to the allocation for gambling, and yes it is true that most gamblers today always experience problems with their finances due to experiencing too significant losses and obviously the mistake is in unrealistic or poor money management and this financial management is useful for everything in our lives and not just in gambling involvement.

Another mistake yes of course you have also said the right thing that they are too excessive in responding to gambling, one thing I know is that they think that getting a win is easy or even they think that gambling is a place to earn, so when they experience a loss they do not hesitate to make a decision to chase their losses which is actually clear the idea will only lead them to a much greater amount of loss because however long you run the session then the possibility of losing will continue to lurk and will always be a definite possibility. Therefore, it is clear that this is the reason why we are always advised to focus better on risk management such as putting limits on the time of involvement and also on the amount of budget and the other thing is also to put limits on expectations, do not let you put excessive expectations on winning because after all gambling will always be an activity that does not have any certainty or guarantee to always produce.

[zuzie]

Yes because after all this is gambling where we have to focus more on some of the potential bad things that might happen, so there is nothing wrong if we talk and pay more attention to precautions. On the other hand yes of course everyone has their own perspective in dealing with everything including gambling when they are sick, and actually it doesn't matter if for example they still want to relieve boredom by engaging in gambling but on the condition that they must really understand the bad risks that will always lurk while they are there, the point is to set limits, maintain awareness and strengthen self-control and another thing is to always allocate the amount of money that you can afford to lose, or that means not exceeding your ability, remember in gambling there are so many things that can be tempting and this is why I recommend maintaining awareness.

Indeed, prevention so as not to cause too high a negative impact is really needed when playing gambling, namely by limiting bets and the time when gambling. Yes, each person has a different way of filling boredom in their daily life, especially when they are sick, they might take a way to look for activities that don't use maximum energy, namely playing gambling using only capital as much as they like and just sitting or sleeping. while resting to restore his health.
And it's true what you said, don't forget that playing gambling also poses a big risk if played unreasonably, therefore gambling is fine as long as you can apply a money limit when playing.
